College Football

On the day before 2010, Houston was supposed to beat Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl easily. But that wasn't the case. Air Force who was making their third straight bowl appearance, would not back down in a bowl game that represented the Army the Navy and the Air Force which suited them perfectly. Even after the 1st half, it looked like Houston was way out of it, with Air Force leading 24-6. After that, Air Force just let time go by cruising to a 47-20 win with star RB Jerad Tew rushing for 173 yards and 2 TD's. The Air Force defense didn't leave alot of open receivers for Houston QB Case Keenum to pass to, only allowing 222 yards, 1 TD, and made him throw 6 interceptions. This just proves how overrated Houston is and how underrated Air Force is. Air Force is the non BCS team to watch. Congrats Air Force!

Arizona will sqaure off against Nebraska in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. This bowl game shoul be on New Years day because this is one of the best bowl games out there. But it's not. Both teams are evenly matched with Nebraska's firey defense led by star DT Ndamukong Suh who has 212 total tackles and 4 interceptions and Arizona's pass attack offense led by star QB Nick Foles who has passsed for 2,495 and 19 TD's. Arizona is coming off a hudge win against rival USC and Nebraka is coming off a heartbraking loss to Texas in the Big 12 Championship game. Both teams were runner ups in their conference to. But they have differences. Nebraska has a storiedhistory of National Championships and conference titles while Arizona does not have a good history a until this year, was a push around in the Pac-10. Me and the rest of the staff lov this bowl and hope you wach on ESPN at 8:00. Enjoy this great bowl game!

Even though the Macco Las Vegas Bowl was on one of the windiest days of the year, it was still a great game. Oregon State was the first one to score on an Sean Canfield 1 yard rush. But after that, they wouldn't score till the fourth quarter ending a 30-0 scoring drought. Max Hall dominated the game by passing for 192 yards and 3 TD's. Their powerful halfback Harvy Unga did not break out any big runs but did power his way to 71 yards and 1 TD. Oregon State had no answer for the powerful BYU defense and ended up losing 42-20.

Last Tuesday Bobby Bowden made the decision to retire. After meeting with FSU president T.K. Wetherell Bowden had two choices. The choices were to retire from football or return as an assistant coach. Bowden decided to retire from college football after coaching three teams for 43 years. He is also second all-time in career wins. Many FSU fans were disappointed that Bobby Bowden retired. But I think that was a good decision. Bobby has been a very offensive minded coach this year but has lacked on the defensive side. Along with him longtime defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews retired. Bowden was just a little to old to be coaching. I am a big fan of Bobby Bowden but I think FSU's decision to ask him to retire was a good move. After FSU plays WVU in the Gator Bowl Jimbo Fisher will be named the FSU head coach. Jimbo Fisher already made fired some people and hired some people as head coach. He fired Running Back Coach Dexter Carter and Linebacker Coach Chuck Amano. Two people Bowden had hired himself and had done a great job. I hope that Bobby Bowden will be remembered as one of the greatest coaches of all time.

 After beating rival opponents, Texas, Florida and Alabama all look to go to the National Championship. We know that the winner of the SEC championship game will go to the National Championship but what about Texas. After barley beating Texas A&M, Texas will have another tough task against Nebraska. If they lose, that opens doors for Cincy and TCU and Boise State. I think the Gators will win in triple overtime against Alabama and Texas will beat the Cornhuskers 21-20 in the last seconds. But for Mark Ingram, Tim Tebow and Colt Mcoy, this will be their final chance to impress the heisman voters before the award is given. This should be the best college football Saturday in more than a decade. So don't plan much for Saturday!
